Hi! My name is Jessica, but everyone calls me Jess! I am a licensed mental health counselor working with individuals in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. I am looking forward to being a part of your journey! I acknowledge that reaching out for support can be a scary and vulnerable experience. As a result of this, I strive to create a safe, warm, and non-judgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. I am a relational therapist who believes in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I believe humor is therapeutic and will utilize this in the therapy space when appropriate. Ultimately, you are the expert on you & your life and have control over the therapy space. I enjoy working collaboratively with individuals utilizing curiosity to build insight around patterns so you may live a more empowered life. 

In my free time, I enjoy reading and keeping up with TV shows and movies. And I’m always open to taking recommendations! Outside of sessions, I truly value spending time with my two amazing nieces and my sweet pup, Abigail.

My Approach

I believe in the power of a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy, and mutual respect. My practice is integrative, drawing from various therapeutic modalities to best meet your individual needs. Whether you are dealing with stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, or simply seeking personal growth, my goal is to help you find balance, build resilience, and lead a fulfilling life. I utilize EMDR and lean heavily into somatic practices.

What is EMDR?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a specialized psychotherapy technique designed to help individuals process and alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories. Through guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, EMDR enables the reprocessing of traumatic events, reducing their emotional impact. It is effective in treating PTSD, anxiety, depression, and related conditions.

Somatic practices are holistic therapies that focus on the connection between the mind and body to promote healing and well-being. These techniques involve mindful awareness of bodily sensations and movements to release tension, process emotions, and reduce stress. Common somatic practices include yoga, bodywork, breathwork, and EMDR. By addressing both physical and emotional aspects, somatic practices support overall health and resilience.

Telehealth:

I practice exclusively through telehealth utilizing a HIPAA-compliant video platform. Telehealth benefits can include flexibility, accessibility to therapy, and reduced travel time and cost.
